El Pipa will be the partner of the experienced midfielder, with whom he starred in a hot moment a couple of seasons ago in a classic against Racing at La Bombonera.
After his European tour, Darío Benedetto returns to Boca. In the next few days, he will sign his three-year contract, pose again with the shirt xeneize and meet the fans again. He will also cross paths with an old acquaintance, Diego Gonzalez, with whom he starred a hot moment a couple of seasons ago.
In November 2017, the Octopus, at that time Racing midfielder, and the striker sparks were drawn both on and off the pitch. The turns of football and life made in this 2022 the faces will be seen again, but this time as teammates.
The fight between Benedetto and Pulpo González: “I buy you and make you play in the patio of the house”
On that occasion, the Academia beat Boca 2-1 at La Bombonera, with goals from Lautaro Martínez and Augusto Solari, and there were chicanes between both players. “Benedetto told me that if he wanted he would buy me and play me in the patio of his house. That’s why we said later that the Boca players lacked humility. I was surprised by what he said because we had already faced each other several times. He spent just one year in Mexico, I don’t know how much money he got. If you tell me that it was another player with another career…”, declared the midfielder after that classic.

Far from remaining in a simple discussion within a field of play, the story had a second chapter a calendar later. From Mexico, González remembered the Pipe through Instagram for a Superclásico that Boca had just lost 2-0 against River in their stadium. “What if you better come play in the patio of my house?”, he wondered Octopus, which then deleted the story.
In any case, González, who arrived at the La Ribera club in October 2020, stated that there are no grudges with the striker born in Berazategui. “Nothing ever happened. We always had a very good relationship, we have the same representative, Christian Bragarnik”, put cold cloths in TyC Sports the ex-Lanús and Tijuana, who in the next few days will share colors and costumes with Benedetto.

The scorer will arrive in Argentina on Thursday to be presented as Boca’s first reinforcement. “I said that I would return to Boca one way or another and I have already kept my word: I will always be a fan of that club and now I have been given the opportunity to return as a player to the club that I love”, stated this morning in dialogue with Onda Cero Elche, after saying goodbye to the institution.
Benedetto explained that he is leaving Elche with the need to feel important again and that is what he will look for in the Xeneize: “I want to find the minutes that I didn’t have in Elche. I will continue supporting the entity from the place that now touches me. I feel happy with this time at Elche, in which I have learned many things, and at the same time I am happy to return to the club that I love“.
